Our Last Dinner in Bar Harbor

Seeing the cruise ship in Bar Harbor, we knew it would be best to skip going into Bar Harbor today. 
When we picked up the firewood and ice at the camp store, we saw the sign for lobster dinners right here at the campground.  We had seen the big red lobster in the distance toward the middle of the campground, but hadn't gone by there.
Turns out that for $36, we could get two nice sized lobsters, two ears of corn and cole slaw cooked to order and ready to be brought back to our campsite. 
So I built a charcoal fire in the firepit to grill steaks for the kids and Jeff put in an order for a lobster dinner for us, plus two extra ears of corn.  I also boiled some red potatoes for Jeff and I and microwaved some mashed potatoes for the kids, who have just started taking a liking to them.
The lobster dinner was delicious, and better than the last meal we ate in Bar Harbor.  I wish we had thought of this sooner - it was delicious!  The kids got into the lobster cracking business too - They each took turns cracking a claw.
